This my be the last chapter, as I cant come up with anymore for this series. But I love writting for Tsubasa and Yu. Im going to try wrtting for Kenta as well.

"Yu, be careful when you're taking shortcuts because one street may look like another and then you're stuck going in the worng direction. So just take the long way, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah Tsubasa. Quit worrying."

Yu was on his way home from Kenta's house. Kenta just got a new practice bey stadium and they just had to battle. Unfortunatly, by the time they were done, it was getting dark and Yu had a long way to go til he got home.

"Man, that was so much fun! I didn't wanna stop. Its been a while since we had a good battle, huh Libra?" Yu took the bey out his hand and held it tight. He could still feel Libra's energy flowing through his palm and his own adrenaline made him jump in the air.

"Yes I cant wait to go back, but right now, I gotta hurry home. Tsubasa might have a cow if I don't beat him home. Let's see it takes about 20 minutes to get there from here and Tsubasa is gonna be home in 45 minutes. Yes I'll have 25 minutes to spare," after his little math lesson, Yu continued going down the man road, but after loking at his watch, he found he was losing time.

"This is taking forever. I know there's a shourtcut around here, but Tsubasa doesn't like for me to take them, but this one time cant possibly hurt right?"

Yu darted to the intersection and looked at the street names, "Tsubasa works on Maple Drive and I know that he walks down Blue Street and continues on home that way. If I go to down Blue now, I'll find my own street in no time at all!"

The sun was setting faster as Yu walked down the seemilgy familiar Blue street, and he made sure he stayed in the right direction, but Yu didn't know just how tricky streets can be. As he approached another street sign, it didn't say what he expected.

"Huh? Clark road? But I was just on Blue. How did it turn to Clark? Okay don't panic Yu. You've been in worse situations. Just find a sign similar to it. There! Green Avenue," Yu crossed the street to Green Avenue looking for Blue Street, but alas he couldn't find it. However, he did find familiar looking stores and homes, but he couldn't see the WBBA headquarters, which was very very hard to miss. He couldn't even see the old Dark Nebula building.

By this time, night was seeping in Metal Bey City and Yu lost all track of time and himself. He stared at a bey park he never went inside, walked past houses that he didn't know existed and saw signs he never thought would be signs. But in all seriousness, who would name a street 'Nightmare Lane'? That just reeks of creepy.

"Okay keep your cool and just go down a random street. Im sure the building was in this direction or maybe that one. UGH! This is Tsubasa's fault for not drawing me a map."

"Oh a map. Are you lost little boy?"

Yu turned around quickly to see a familiar looking man. It was the tall lanky man he ran into back when he worked for the Dark Nebula.

"Not you guys! Look I have something important to do and I don't have time to beat you guys."

"Beat us? That's some big talk for such a little boy."

"I'm not a little boy!"

"Oh? If I remember correctly, your bird friend had to save you cause you were weak and helpless."

"Weak and helpless, huh? You're just lucky I didn't have my Libra, but now I do so who about a battle?"

"A battle sounds fun. Hey! T.! K.!" two men dropped in on que, "let's show this boy a lesson, huh guys?"

"hehehehe," the men readied their beys.

"My gasher has some new features," the former Ray Gasher was now a Poison Gasher, but Yu didnt flinch.

"Let's get this over with Libra," Yu launched the bey along with the men," Let it rip!"

"Come on, Gasher. Poison claws!"

"Bull, Metal Hooves!"

"Capricorn, Mad Horns!"

All three beys came hurling toward Libra, who didnt move. Yu yawned, "this is boring. Libra, Inferno Blast!"

The green beam harshly lit the dark street and screeched loudly. A few blocks away, golden eyes saw the blast and silently began moving toward it. Back at the battle, Yu walked away from the defeated (and knocked out) men.

"What a boring battle. And just think, they almost beat me last time," from the corner of his eyes, Yu saw a light fluttering. Eagle had arrived, "Beagle, you found you!"

Yu ran to hug Eagle, but the bird fiercely flapped his wings and picked at Yu's hair and screeched.

"Okay, okay!" Yu tried to swat at Eagle without hurting him and after awhile, Eagle stopped and began flying to the street sign ahead of Yu. "You want me to follow you?"

The giant bird screeched his answer and flew away. Yu followed close behind and then he noticed something.

"Hey! This is Bey Park! I was down the street from Bey Park this whole time?"

"That's why I told you not to take shortcuts," Yu turned to see Tsubasa.

"Tsubasa! How did you find me?"

"I saw the Inferno Blast. Its not hard to miss that. But why did you-"

"Please dont lecture me about shortcuts. I know I shouldnt have but I just wanted to get home quickly so that you wouldnt worry. I promise I will never take another shortcut again."

"I see Eagle gave you his lecture, did he?"

"How did you know?"

Tsubasa picked a feather from Yu's hair and laughed.

"Oh whatever. Can we just go home?" Yu asked slighty irratated.

Tsubasa nodded, "of course, but we'll go the long way. Its a nice evening anyway."

"Okay Tsubasa."

I have taken many shortcuts and have gotten lost. Its no fun.
